Christmas Wonderland, Singapore’s biggest yuletide fair returns to Gardens by the Bay for its 13th edition, transforming over 30,000 square metres of the Supertree Grove into a sprawling festive wonderland. This year’s edition brings together over 40 festive attractions, including brand-new immersive zones, returning crowd-favourites, nightly snowfall, and more than 180 hours of holiday programming.

Here is a practical guide to help families navigate and plan a visit to Christmas Wonderland 2026.

Step Inside the All-New Santa Mission Control

A major highlight this year is Santa Mission Control, an all-new 450-square-metre immersive experience housed inside a giant 30-metre-wide display. Children can step behind the scenes of Santa’s whimsical gift factory to explore woodworking and gift-wrapping stations, check out the global delivery command centre, and meet Father Christmas at his executive office.

Families can also extend their visit to the CMC Meadow Lodge, where children can pen heartfelt wishes for the beneficiaries of Kidz Horizon Appeal at the CMC Postal Service and join the elves for games and sweet treats.

New Attractions & Family-Friendly Highlights

• The 20-Metre-Tall Elf Treehouse: Nestled amongst the Supertrees, this digital mixed-media installation offers a peek into the cozy homes of merry elves and woodland creatures as they decorate their treehouse for the holidays—making for a fantastic family photo backdrop.

• Grab Holiday Village: Themed "Take a Holiday from the Holidays!", this pet- and family-friendly space is packed with activities to help parents and kids unwind, win prizes, and enjoy drinks at the Grab Holiday Lodge or snap a photo inside the Chill Out Snowglobe.

• Solace Studios Korean-Style Photobooth: For the first time, Solace Studios brings its popular self-photobooths to the fairground, featuring eight Christmas-themed rooms like the Phone Booth to North Pole, Gift Room, and Gingerbread Shop.

Beloved Festive Traditions Return

Beyond the new additions, families can look forward to the signature experiences that have made Christmas Wonderland a year-end family favourite:

• The Spalliera & Blizzard Time: The iconic six-storey, hand-crafted Italian luminarie stands proudly at the heart of the fairground, serving as the atmospheric backdrop for Blizzard Time, where flurries of artificial snow transform the Supertree Grove into a glistening winter landscape.

• The Return of Flying Santa: The spectacle kicks off with Santa’s First Flight—a new prelude following a toy-maker’s journey to becoming Santa—before the beloved Flying Santa and his reindeer soar across the night sky (subject to weather conditions).

• Carnival Games, Rides & Live Entertainment: Kids can look forward to traditional carnival games and rides, while the daily holiday programming offers over 180 hours of choral performances, dance showcases, mascot appearances, local live singers, and the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show.

Festive Shopping & Dining

Explore the fairground to discover seasonal treats and unique finds. Kids can try their hand at the build-a-bear vending machine by TinkerBox or browse food-inspired novelty gifts at Mistletoe Alley.
